Patent GB-2125072-A (GB)
Title: Self-adjusting filament tensioner
Inventor: WHELLAMS GEOFFREY EDMUND
IPC: B65H59/34
Filed: 1983-08-08
Abstract: A filament tensioner is controlled by a tension monitor to maintain tension. A tensioner, particularly for fine copper wire, comprises two discs (53a, 53b). An electromagnet assembly (50, 51) may vary the force with which the discs are urged together to vary the imparted tension. Wire tension is sensed by a pivotal arm (40). An eddy-current drive from a motor (44) biases the arm with a constant force and the angle of the arm is determined by an optical sensor arrangement (45, 47). A control unit (56) receives the output signal from the sensor, and supplies a drive current to both the motor and electromagnet assembly, whereby the tension in the wire 35 may be maintained substantially constant. The tensioner may alternatively comprise movable guides interleaved with fixed guides to provide a variable zig-zag filament path (Fig. 1). <IMAGE>
